Conditions

Primary Insomnia

Brief summary

Insomnia patients demonstrate subjective and physiological hyperarousal. The Cereve Sleep System has been proposed as a clinical treatment to reverse this hyperarousal in insomnia patients. The current study is a two dose study to determine the optimal temperature for the Cereve Sleep System. Primary outcome measures include EEG sleep measured sleep latency and sleep efficiency.
